[1] In 1884–85 it played at a ground known as the Racecourse, before sharing Victoria Park with the Leicester Tigers rugby club for two years.

[1] Leicester Fosse became a professional club in 1889 and laid out its own ground at Mill Lane, just north of Filbert Street.

[1] The site of what was to become Filbert Street was prepared during the summer of 1891, while Leicester Fosse temporarily played at the Aylestone Road Cricket Ground.

[1] Local legend suggests that the new ground was identified by a Miss Westland, the niece of one of the club's founders, Joseph Johnson.

The roof which had previously covered the Kop was rebuilt at the north, or Filbert Street end of the ground.

It was in this form that Filbert Street saw its record attendance of 47,298 for the Fifth Round FA Cup tie, a 3–0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on 18 February 1928.

[2] After just surviving a council vote to terminate their lease in the late 1940s, City purchased the freehold of the ground in 1962, for the sum of £30,500.

The Air Dome covered an area of 90,000 square feet, weighed 24 cwt and took 15 men two hours to lay out and inflate using four electric fans.

Completed in December 1993, the Carling Stand held 9,500 seated spectators and expanded corporate facilities, costing £6 million.

The first took place in 1928 between Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal and in 1962 it hosted a semi-final replay between Burnley and Fulham, following a draw at Villa Park.

Two days later, the teams met again at Filbert Street with Ipswich Town finally winning 3–2 to progress to the semi-final against eventual winners West Ham United.

In 1979, Filbert Street again hosted a marathon tie, this time between Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday in the third round.

[5] Following the success of the club under Martin O'Neill during the later part of the 1990s, an expanded stadium was required for higher attendances and to provide better facilities.

Expansion of Filbert Street would have been very difficult, as the North and East Stands backed onto housing which would have been expensive to place under a compulsory purchase order.

[9] Filbert Street was sold to a development company for £3.75 million in March 2002, two months before the last game was played there.
